AI Summary
This bill authorizes the posthumous award of a Congressional Gold Medal to Marshall "Major" Taylor, an African American athlete who was a pioneering world champion cyclist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The bill outlines Taylor's remarkable achievements and the significant racial barriers he overcame, and directs the Secretary of the Treasury to strike a gold medal in his honor.
